Can someone please tell me if this dial is an appropriate dial for a 1927 Mdl. 992L...?

Thanks, all comments are welcome....

Jerry,
Your dial appears to be a #436 and I believe it was used on the 992's but I do not have a date for it.

Jerry,

Edward is right, this dial, also known as Heavy Arabic, was used on Gr 992's. The style in your photo with the block letter Hamilton signature started in 1918 and continued thru the end of 992 production in 1930, so it would be correct for your 1927 example.

Ed, How about the ones like that one, only they are Signed, not printed?

Thanks.

Larry

Both Edward's....Thank you very much....there is so much that I don't know and that's about everything, but esp. the Hamilton cases and Dials....But, I am learning....thanks to folks like you and others too of course....

Jerry

The script dials were also used on the 992's. Maybe Ed can fill in the dates for us?

Thanks Ed. Where do you find the info on the dial numbers?

Lawrence,
I am not sure where I got them from. I down load watch info as I find it and this was in my Hamilton file.

Early Hamilton Railroad Watch Dial Signatures: There's a lot of information in this topic:

Here's what it boils down to . . .

<<All dates approximate!>>

Block letter "HAMILTON" with serifs: 1918 - 1930
Script "Hamilton": 1905 - 1918
Script "Hamilton Watch Co.": 1893 - 1905

Again, Thank you both "Ed's" that is very good and useful information....

Jerry
